Hi everyone,
Well have been trying to work with some local machine shops for the Stainless Steel Rods. Now I have to figure out on how offer it without breaking any rules. Still working on pricing. It has a lot to do with the quantity that I order. I guess I will need to take a head count.
I have been running my rack for some time now and happy to report that there are no issues. I do get a lot of compliments on the design and ingenuity. OK I'll stop now.
I do not think that this design will lend itself for a two bike rack application. For this I would look into the rear tow hitch that someone on this forum is offering. then just get a standard trailer hitch rack for two bikes.
Hope that this helps and will figure this out very shortly. Going to contact the MODS for rules and regulations. Wish me luck.
